Face of Australia Barbados Collection Review, Swatches and Photos

Introducing the latest nail polish collection by Face of Australia, Barbados. This was a very special collection as it was one the MBBE girls brainstormed on one afternoon with Face of Australia. A lovely afternoon of laughs, swatching and chicken nuggets was had, and the result was Barbados, which will forever be a very special collection to me 🙂 The collection was kindly supplied by Face of Australia, and as always all swatches are 2 coats with no top coat. The collection is available at select Pricelines.

Another Daiquiri Please

A sheer watermelon coloured shimmer shade, I found OPI’s Big Hair Big Nails to be almost identical in colour, minus the shimmer.

Bright Lights, Pink City

A bright almost fluoro pink shade (at least in person) with gold / pink shimmers. Zoya’s Bijou is a much sheerer version of this.

Calypso – Gold

A yellow based pearl metallic shade with very light gold shimmers. I found OPI’s Upfront & Personal is a very sheer version.

I Like to Mauve It

A dusty rose shade infused with silver shimmer, NYX’s Silver Plum is a more satin version with less shimmer and Zoya’s Reece has more pink to it.

Let’s Go Scuba Diving

My favourite from this collection, a gorgeous shimmery teal shade. It is such an amazingly rich colour, I couldn’t find an exact dupe, but I found Essie’s Trophy Wife is be bluer with less shimmer and Zoya’s Charla is less pigmented.

Orange You Glad You Came?

Another favourite shade, a tangerine with micro shimmer shade. I really couldn’t find much like it at all, though when pressed China Glaze’s Sun Worshipper contains no shimmer and Color Club’s I Always Get My Mandarin is lighter with also no shimmer.

Party at the Gap

A gunmetal shade with silver shimmers, Zoya’s Marine is a non shimmer version. I found this formula to lean on the thicker side.

You Blue Me Away

A mixture of blue and silver shimmers, found this formula to be relatively thick as well. China Glaze’s Oxidized Aqua is similar but with more green tones.
